A magnum of classic Southern Rhône comfort! Grenache leads with ripe cherry and garrigue; Syrah and Mourvèdre fill in spice and backbone. The 2023 Sablet is both easygoing and seriously delicious, the kind of wine that turns any dinner into...

I have the opportunity to special order a parcel of Aurelio Settimo’s wonderful wines at very attractive prices.  The wine will be loaded and shipped as soon as I get the order in so we can expect them in late October or early November. ...

Fahgettaboutit! Tiziana only makes the Riserva in truly special vintages and 2019 was about as good as it gets. We love the new black label the reserva gets too. It’s always lovely to sit down with Tiziana and her son Davide to catch up on...

Vinous, 97 points: The 2020 Barbaresco Riserva Montestefano is one of the most elegant, polished wines in this range. Bright red-toned fruit, blood orange, spice, mint and cedar are beautifully lifted. The tannins are remarkably polished for a young,...

Cassis sits with Bandol on one side of Marseilles on the Mediterranean coast but its production is a mere fraction of their much-better known neighbor. And, what, say, Domaine Tempier, is to Bandol is what Domaine du Bagnol is to Cassis- the...

“Roger and Christine Saumaize took over the domaine back in 1978 and, in my opinion, are one of the top producers in the Mâconnais.” (Neal Martin)   Rarely do we equate the leaner, mineral-infused whites from the Maconnaise...

Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah. Certified organic. If I were to construct from my imagination the perfect dry-styled Provençal rosé to enjoy this weekend (and for many weekends to come), it would probably look a lot like the Bargemone from...
